Following another very successful and thoroughly enjoyable North Antrim Indoor U10 hurling league which finished with the finals in Ballymena 7 Towers leisure centre on Sunday, it is the turn of the U8’s to go into action this weekend.
The North Antrim committee deserve great praise for the manner in which they organise these Indoor Winter events and their competitions increasingly attract sides from beyond their divisional board and indeed from throughout Ulster.
Swatragh and Slaughtneil, Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon and Eoghan Roe, Coleraine are just some of the clubs who will be availing of the opportunity to pit their skills against the best North Antrim has to offer in what promises to be another excellent competition.
